An Aged Lady Student.

Among the queer people at Concord,
this year, was an old lady of eighty
three, who had come quite a distance
to enjoy the philosophy and to worship
ut the shrine of Emerson. of whom she
had been for years most ardent
devOtce.
The old lady's means were most
limited. and TO exc them out by saving
her board. she had brought with her to
Concord a spirit lamp, and. securing a
small and inexpensive room, managed
to make her own cup of tea, and with
little bread and butter and great
deal of philosophy she was perfectly
happy.
At every lecture the old lady was
present, the first to come and the last
to leave. and in the noon hour she
would take her simple luncheon with
her. and wander about in the woods
until the time for the next lecture ar
rived.
One afternoon she was missed from
her accustomed seat and as she did
not appear in the evening. and it was
known that she had straycd of as
usual, fears were entertained that some
mishap had befallcn her. and search
party was organized and started out.
After quite time. far back in the rca,

Women-lnsane Asylums.

The Indiana Insane Asylum at In
dianapolis is reaping the benefit of
having a man and his wife take charge
of ward as attendants. One ward
was at first tried. now eight are so at
tended. In addition to this, the exper-
lment of having a matron upon the
back wards-or wards in which the
most violent patients are kept-has
been successfully tried. Four women
are so employed at this time. with a
very decided improvement in the COM
fort and cleanliness of the wards, and
the conduct of the patients, who are
more tidy in their personal habits; the
more violent are better ruled by a
woman's voice and persuasion than by
any other influence. A female SUPER
visor likewise attends to male wards,
and administers all medicines, inspects
bedding. clothing. etc.
There is also Il school in the depart
ment for men, which is in charge of
two lady teachers, which is highly
successful. This was undertaken after
trial of a school in the department
for women. which proved a decided
benefit to the one hundred and sew
enty-fivc women who attended.
The board arc asked to provide that
females declared insane. who can not
be brought to the hospital by their inn
mediate relatives. shall be taken to
and fro by skilled female attendant
of the hospital. and only the actual ex-
pense of such transfers be charged;
this would be = saving of fifty per cent
on the present cost.

"A look Of intense surprise crossed
the farmers face Is he replied: why
Doctor. that was your dog. J never
saw him before that night
"'My dogf I exclaimed. skeptically.
for it was my turn to be surprised.
You are surely joking. Farmer Miles.
l certainly never saw the dog before;
I've never seen him since. l wonder.
ed then that you allowed him to lie in
the path around the bed, and have often
wondered since where you kept him. ,
This is very remarkable. said tho
farmer slowly, and we thought it so
strange that you should allow such q
monstrous fellow to 60 with you into
the sick ROOM
Il saw that he was speaking earn
estly and truly; but how. in the bright
moonlight. down that untraveled road.
a dog half as big as my horse could
have followed me unnoticed was past
all understanding. Indeed it was a
simple impossibility. No one saw him
come with me to the house; no one
actually saw him go with me when l
left. None of the maids in the kitchen
that night saw him enter there or go
forth from the door. The men at their
supper had noticed no dog when l laid
aside my coat and muffler. The women
in the sick chamber could not tell when
or how the dog had come; they noticed
him first lying on the floor shortly
after my entrance, missed him after
my departure. and very naturally con.
cludcd that he came and went with
me. No trace had ever been seen of
him since. In silence and mystery he
appeared with me at the farmhouse.
In silence and mystery he appeared
mid the grove of pines. apparently for
my protection. then disappeared to be
seen no more of men.

Danish the feeling that there was some
thing uncanny about the noble looking
animal. and l am always reminded OF
the incident whenever tales of the su.
pernatural are on the tapis. l made
vigilant inquiry for a dog answering
his description. for would have paid
a fabulous price to have possessed him;
but in vain.
II can see as wildly as though it
were last night, that lonely winter
landscape beneath the silver MOON

Il knew then. know now, that no
dog bounded down the roadway at my
side, or met me at any point on the
way. Why did he come? Whence did

night? Where did he go? are ques-
tons that racked my brain for many
weeks and are yet unanswered. '-E.

Working Women Organizing.

The movement to organize the work.
ing women of Boston, inaugurated by
the Boston Woman Suffrage League.
took shape ON Thursday evening,
August Is. in public meeting at
Wells Memorial Hall, under the au-
spices of the Central Labor Union.
This movement for working women.
if judiciously managed. may achieve
important results. In Massachusetts,
there are more than two hundred thou
sand women who earn their support.
by work outside of their own house, at
less than One-half the average rate of
wages paid to men. In Boston alone
there are twenty thousand women en-
ployed in shops and stores at from two
to four dollars per week. 1t is high
time that these women should organ
ize for mutual help and protection.
1.-THE gods help those who help them
selves" and those ''who would be free
themselves must strike the blow"
The Fundamental! obstacle to fair pay
for women is the fact Of their disfran-
chisement. Growing out of this. the
greatest practical difficulty is their
want of special skill and technical
training. Women are almost wholly
excluded from instruction in trades and
handicrafts by custom and prejudice.
The man or woman who can do one
thing we'll has fOOthOld from which
to climb. Let the Central Labor
Union, which demands for women
equal pay for equal work. secure also
for women equal opportunity to learn
and practice diversified INDUSTRIES

The Straw Which Broke 3 Dakota Settlers
Proud Spirit.
A Dakota settler who had had bad
luck financially was finally taken sick.
A friend called to see him and said to
his wife:
IL was surprised to hear of your hus-
bands sickness-I thought he was re-
markably strong and healthy"
"Yes. John was always very healthy.
but he got SO discouraged a: last that it
jes' made him sick"
"But he was always of such
cheerful and buoyant disposition I
never expected to see him give up this
way
"Yes, John was always mighty
gritty. When the barn burnt up an
killed the new team he never said q
word. but jes' braced up an built
another barn an got another team
..Yes. remember he did"
..Then when the house burnt he
didn't complain a bit. but went to liv-
ing in tent jes' as cheerful"
II know it. :"
when the farm was sold on a mort
gage an the children were all took
sick john KEEP right up as happy a.
ever"
..Yes, that's So"
..By'n'by the sheriff took the COW an
cook-stove, an wagon run over
Johns foot an smashed it. but still he
didn't pear to be bit discouraged.
IL know he didn't"
Then our oldest girl run, away an
married corn-doctor. both our horses
died. John got beat on a lawsuit an
fell down an broke his leg. Still he
held his head right up an said he'd
come out on top yet"
..Yes; well. what was it that could
possibly have occurred to break his
spirit and make him sick at last?"
He had to sell the old black dog for
fifty cents to git money to buy flour.
an the man just bought him for his
hide an nothing else. an we know it!
Just as soon as John saw the man tie
old Tige under the wagon he come right
in and throwed himself ON the bed an
SAYS he: 'Samanthy. that's too much

SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY

"I :ovc her! I love her."
John mentally said,
A. he held his umbrella
Ger Mary's fair head.
And sighed to himself,
AS the summer rain fell:
How dearly love her
Inever can tell
But dear little Mary,
The old farmers pet,
Being glad OF her shelter,
And 10th to get wet,
Chung close to her lover,
And chartered to him.
Meath the good old umbrellas
Dark shadowy brim.
They talked of the season,
They talked of the crops,
The changeable weather,
The failure in hops:
But their fond eyes oft met
Till he murmured: ''I'll tell hc4
The love Of my heart
Underneath this umbrella"
The bushes were many:
The words they were few;
While the .raindrops above
Beat a silvery tattoo;
But the story was told,
must truly confess,
And two rosy lips
Whispered, lovingly: "Tes!"
Now in their fair cottage
(For welded they are),
Among the few treasures
They value to-day,
In soft, silken cover.
IAN innocent ruse).
Hangs this faded umbrella,
Too precious for use.

any thing on trust at midnight in that

of what might happen there. So 1

an ominous growl. low and deep. and
saw that Farmer Miles dog had fol-
lowed us. and stood across the track as
if TO bar the way between us and any
farther advances by SmithsOn. and l
could have sworn that over against the
trees the forms of two men doomed up
in the shadowy moonlight. while the
dog held Phil at bay by the roadside.
l waited no longer. but made rapid
progress toward town.

ST. Bernard. but never saw him; always
in passing the school-house l kept a
steady rein and watched for shadows;
but every thing was quiet. For two
years Phil Smithson did not appear
again at Haven, and for the widows
sake said but little of my adventure.
The morning that 1 dismissed my
patient said to Farmer Miles:
